Taxis To Be Free of
Stickers and Polarized
Windows
Taxi drivers are being
forced to remove all
types of stickers, be it
decorative, commercial,
religious, sports, etc
from their vehicles as
well as all polarized
tints on the windows or
fail the Riteve - the
vehicular inspection.
The order was handed
down by the Consejo de
Transporte Público (CTP),
the same government
agency that has ordered
controls on the amount
and type of advertising
allowed on public buses.
Édgar Castro, of the CTP,
said that polarized
windows and stickers
will be classified as
"grave" (serious) an
action that will not
allow Riteve to issue
the inspection
circulation permit.
The decision was made on
December 18, 2007, and
was sent to Riteve SyC
to be applied during
inspection of taxi
vehicles, which occurs
every six months.
With the action, taxis
will be completely red
as it was intended and
not masked in any way.
Although the CTP
decision was to take
effect on January 1,
2008, taxi drivers have
until January 21 to
remove all stickers and
polarization or face
fines by Tránsito
(traffic) officials. |
